This lecturer shows evident passion for Vincent. Probably only Vincent can make a scholar have such a deep and intimate feeling about him and his work.
Loved the way Katie talked about Van Gogh's life and paintings. She is such a great storyteller, and her love for what she's talking about really shines through. Her excitement is very catching. Totally loved this video. Thanks for sharing this with us. :)
Unlike some curators who talked about Van Gogh with an cold academic indifference, Katie presented Van Gogh’s brief life as someone was recalling one’s late younger brother, a little bit weird but very passionate, high strung and sensitive but with a big heart, a bit clumsy but absolutely brilliant. Very few lecturers could present the subject with such passion and objectivity. Great lecture!
The most beautiful pathway through Vincents life and paintings. Thank you so much for this. It won't be the last time I listen to your lucid passion for the wonderful man. 🙏
Many thanks for posting this wonderful talk... I didn't want Katie to stop, and didn't want her to skip over anything just for the sake of time constraints!!!
I feel so blessed to have found this on Vincent you made me laugh with your delightful insightful wit and your love of Vincent and as an art historian student it was a delight to listen to you thankyou Julia
Katie Hanson does a marvelous presentation introducing us to Vincent van Gogh, his life and some of his work. We clearly see the changes in his work, particularly the transition from darkness to light as well as his wonderful portrait paintings of laboring people. Many thanks to Katie and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The presentation is worthy of a second and third viewing.
FoxSpookyMulder - Yep. Lovely! I just wish that Americans (in particular) would go to the effort of at least making an attempt at pronouncing his name correctly. Like VAN GOFF. Not too difficult. Not correct, but close enough for English speakers.
This lecture made me laugh and cry. The love of the lecturer for her subject really shines through, and the humour too. A wonderful sensitive lecture. Thank you.
Thank you for a most informative presentation delivered with a deep passion for the topic..You have transferred your extensive knowledge and enthusiasm in such a pleasant manner.
I am a huge fan of Van Gogh and can honestly say Katia did an excellent job . I applaud you for your incredible passion and empathy in transmitting such interesting knowledge . Bravo!
What an excellent lecture! The presenter’s enthusiasm was evident and made the fascinating subject of Van Gogh even more meaningful. Thank you so much for making this available for us to watch.
Thank you. i feel so moved by your sensibility and wonder, transporting in it's turn vincent's sensibility and aliveness. Beautiful humanity in both of you. Thank you so much. Made my day.
Seven years later….I’ve enjoyed this immensely! Want to paint some more and would like to imitate Van Gogh’s very blue skies with clouds, swirling trees and blue hills. Definitely happier paintings. Wonderfull presentation of Vincent and his works in his short life. . Thank you.
What a wonderful work of art this presentation is. Ms. Hanson's love for Vincent is hopefully going to be translated into book form. Not only was this presentation humorous, sad and uplifting, it left me thirsting for more.
Excellent and very perceptive presentation about this exceptional artist and thinker. Van Gogh style is so powerful that any artist who try to imitate his work can only be a pale shadow of what Van Gogh did as an artist.
You would cry if the truth about VG's death was told. Locals knew he was shot by local thugs. People cannot see that shooting yourself in the stomach is not natural. He was at his peak in 1890.
Her passion for Vincent's story is amazing. I've never heard a better breakdown, putting Vincent's life pieces together in order, showing us his artistic growth and why it happened. A movie director needs to hire this historian and write a Van Gogh movie.
Thank you so much: ıt is a very informative talk and Katie Hanson does it with a lot of feeling. I know that I will watch it several more times. Excellent.
She is extremely knowledgeable and would have loved this but I could not take the um... um...um...maybe I'm just tired tonight... But Excellent video...She knows her stuff..
Utamaro. He has a name. He is famous. He has his own style. It is important to know the artists' name, so you give him due credit for his contribution of the history of art, for accuracy. He is not just "Japanese". It is a problem, having just come back from the museum in Amsterdam, where the problem is the same problem, where the curators say "he was influenced by the Japanese art of the time." . I lived in Tokyo, and they know their own artists' names, as one would expect. Utamaro.
Utamaro was a huge influence on French Impressionists, but Van Gogh studied Hiroshige most, and wrote about Hokusai as well. Here is an article if anyone wants to read about that more www.bbc.com/culture/article/20180611-van-gogh-and-japan-the-prints-that-shaped-the-artist
Very interesting, thank you so much, Dear Katie ,a large number of famous great painters (during difficult days), reproduce and sign works of other great painters who sold well, for the purpose of subsistance. Had Vincent Van Gogh reproduce a few works of this kind and sold them until the arrival of Theo's money? Merci beaucoup Katie
It annoys me to no end when people constantly use it as a filler word between words and sentences. Drives me crazy and makes it unbearable to listen to them speak.
why do the audience laugh at what Vincent did in his life!! he didn't find it amusingly funny!! He was passionate and suffered with mental torment!!. apart from the audience good documentary.
I think you don't have the right to assure how he was thinking or feeling as if you know him more about himself. At least you could so.. I think that he felt so and thought so... You make your own version of understanding him as if it was an absolute truth. Apart of all your way of talking hit the nerves making jokes about his life and between every words you make the voice ummm ummmm ummm. The only thing I liked in the video the presentation of his painting.
At least if you are a professional specialist in van Gogh, you should try to learn to say his name. Search for a RUclips video about him in dutch. To keep saying van Go, and van Gof, is unacceptable. And otherwise just say the first and second G, as in Gaugin. The G of God, in the beginning and in the end of the word. GoG. Anybody can say that.
I'm so sad her time was limited. I could have listened to her talk on this subject for hours and hours. And her voice is so relaxing.
Katie Hansen is one of the best presenters in the MFA.
I wish Katie had 100 lectures on RUclips, I'd watch them all repeatedly. This is catnip for artists & art lovers.
This lecturer shows evident passion for Vincent. Probably only Vincent can make a scholar have such a deep and intimate feeling about him and his work.
I could listen to this lady talk
about art all day. A beautiful talk about an incredible artist.
Loved the way Katie talked about Van Gogh's life and paintings. She is such a great storyteller, and her love for what she's talking about really shines through. Her excitement is very catching. Totally loved this video. Thanks for sharing this with us. :)
I agree very much. One of my favourite lectures.

Breath of fresh air, she was clearly passionate about Van Gogh!
"Um"
This talk is as beautiful as the paintings she talks about. Vibrant, passionate, sensitive, and emotional. I could listen to Katie speak forever.

@@deemor5013 My dutch neighbour told me that it is actually pronounced like this. Van Choch, for english speakers like this: Van Rrorr.
This lecture made me laugh and cry. The love of the lecturer for her subject really shines through, and the humour too. A wonderful sensitive lecture. Thank you.
The speaker is one of the best speakers I've ever seen.
Thank you for a most informative presentation delivered with a deep passion for the topic..You have transferred your extensive knowledge and enthusiasm in such a pleasant manner.
Thank you so much for that lovely look into Mr. Van Gogh.
Brava. I like the way your passion about the subjects comes out.

Me too.
What an excellent lecture! The presenter’s enthusiasm was evident and made the fascinating subject of Van Gogh even more meaningful. Thank you so much for making this available for us to watch.
Both Vincent's and Katie's work exudes passion. Amazing art, wonderful talk. Thank you both!
I enjoyed listening to her great presentation. It was a treat.
Katie is so good. This is an excellent narrative an her interest in the subject is palatable.
Thank you. i feel so moved by your sensibility and wonder, transporting in it's turn vincent's sensibility and aliveness. Beautiful humanity in both of you. Thank you so much. Made my day.

I’ll be watching this about 4 more times ❤
Very well researched and touching and funny comments by Katie.
Please continue you haven't gone to long! I love learning about Vincent and your passion for him is delightful. Thanks
Thanku very much for the detail lesson. The best thing I have enjoyed in 2018. Thanks again.
Best thing to have Van Gogh in dailymy life.2021August
What a wonderful work of art this presentation is. Ms. Hanson's love for Vincent is hopefully going to be translated into book form. Not only was this presentation humorous, sad and uplifting, it left me thirsting for more.
Vi ringrazio molto per questa interessante conferenza. Di certo Vincent non avrebbe mai immaginato di essere ricordato in modo così intenso
I only hope that I will become as good as Vincent van Gogh and the other older artist that have so graciously bestoughed their Master pieces upon us.
A lovely well produced lecture. Thank you. 🌻
Wonderful! The best discussion of Van Gogh I have experienced. Such grace and compassion for a troubled soul.
Marvellous, enthusiastic and compassionate presentation about Vincent. Many thanks!
Excellent and very perceptive presentation about this exceptional artist and thinker. Van Gogh style is so powerful that any artist who try to imitate his work can only be a pale shadow of what Van Gogh did as an artist.
Very well communicated , her love for VVG & his depth of feelings & sensitivity . Thankyou ,much appreciated talk .
Heartfelt and thorough presentation. Thank you Katie.
Very informative. I was captivated the entire way through. Thank you!
Wow, that was great. Katie, you are an artist's blessing. I wish I have a friend like you in my art life, so special.
A lecture that actually managed to make me cry!
You would cry if the truth about VG's death was told. Locals knew he was shot by local thugs. People cannot see that shooting yourself in the stomach is not natural. He was at his peak in 1890.
Her passion for Vincent's story is amazing. I've never heard a better breakdown, putting Vincent's life pieces together in order, showing us his artistic growth and why it happened. A movie director needs to hire this historian and write a Van Gogh movie.
"Umm"
Thank you for this documentary ...
I learned a lot about him. You connected his life thru the letters, painting and your insight very interesting. Thank you.
Thank you so much: ıt is a very informative talk and Katie Hanson does it with a lot of feeling. I know that I will watch it several more times. Excellent.
Amazing talk. An amazing artist's story delivered with eloquence. They should have let her finish as she had intended.
Excellent presentation - thank-you.
She is extremely knowledgeable and would have loved this but I could not take the um... um...um...maybe I'm just tired tonight... But Excellent video...She knows her stuff..
Very interesting and informative. Thanks
Kate. Just wonderful. Wish your voice were louder. Terrific job w painting display and your quiet enthusiasm !
Great presentation. I appreciate it.:)
It was a wonderful lecture that I have learned a lot. Thank you for your sharing of this!
Great insights and presentation. Thank you, Katie!
Wonderful talk.

Simply The best!!!❤️🔥🥰🤗
already love her
Katie we met at Princeton and chatted a long while. Brava
Loved this talk!
Outstanding job
Utamaro. He has a name. He is famous. He has his own style. It is important to know the artists' name, so you give him due credit for his contribution of the history of art, for accuracy. He is not just "Japanese". It is a problem, having just come back from the museum in Amsterdam, where the problem is the same problem, where the curators say "he was influenced by the Japanese art of the time." . I lived in Tokyo, and they know their own artists' names, as one would expect. Utamaro.
Utamaro was a huge influence on French Impressionists, but Van Gogh studied Hiroshige most, and wrote about Hokusai as well. Here is an article if anyone wants to read about that more
www.bbc.com/culture/article/20180611-van-gogh-and-japan-the-prints-that-shaped-the-artist
To be frank it was more than one. Utamaro, Hiroshige, Hokusai, the big hitters and then some.
Is it not enough that it says Utamaro's name clearly on the screen above the painting and then says Hiroshige above his painting?
van Gogh...was more normal than any man i have ever learned about...read his entire 3 volume letters to understand him
Very interesting, thank you so much,
Dear Katie ,a large number of famous great painters (during difficult days), reproduce and sign works of other great painters who sold well, for the purpose of subsistance.

Swell talk. Thank you.
Really good. Thanks for this.
Thanks for educating me...wonderfull+
My thanks. -Seb!
Such a beautiful voice ❣️ Very easy to listen to.
Katie’s talk is my blood type
Really good
i love this woman, i would love her to comment on my paintings...just dreaming but ive got lots
Dank je wel!
He literally died for us
Great lecture..keep on truckin..lol
If it wasn't for his brother there would be no Van Gogh !
Incredible
Is there a way to download the map of where Vincent lived and moved? I would love to follow along as I watch the video. Thank you!
How can one be a Curator of European Paintings and cannot pronounce the name of the painter. His name isn't "van Go" but "van Gogh"!

"career"
why do the audience laugh at what Vincent did in his life!! he didn't find it amusingly funny!! He was passionate and suffered with mental torment!!. apart from the audience good documentary.
Christine Riddell t
I guess people sometimes laugh to lighten the mood, as Vincent's life was quite gloomy, the way we laugh when we're nervous.
0:33 speaker: "Vincent Van "Go" disliked hearing his last name mispronounced"...
I speak; English, Spanish, Italian, French & Thai. I'm ready & available.
Should have disclaimer - it's her opinion
Not trying to be rude, but is there an edit where there's not 1,889 "um"s
Can't hear you
Great speaker....just wish she would lose the constant "uhm" in every second sentence.😑😒
Amazing content and enthusiasm, could you get rid of “uhm” please….
I think you don't have the right to assure how he was thinking or feeling as if you know him more about himself. At least you could so.. I think that he felt so and thought so... You make your own version of understanding him as if it was an absolute truth. Apart of all your way of talking hit the nerves making jokes about his life and between every words you make the voice ummm ummmm ummm. The only thing I liked in the video the presentation of his painting.
Might I suggest moving to subtitles when life gets so hard this is all you can contribute.
every other word is uuugh, I am sorry, its very distracting,
you are the sister in the Brotherhood of redheads
Every American mispronounces his surname. Van-Go. Sounds like a goddamn removal company.
if she met Vincent she would have snubbed him like everyone else did
U talk so silent!!
o,k, but she needs to speak louder.
Wish they would have just kicked the coughing dude out geez
At least if you are a professional specialist in van Gogh, you should try to learn to say his name. Search for a RUclips video about him in dutch. To keep saying van Go, and van Gof, is unacceptable.
And otherwise just say the first and second G, as in Gaugin. The G of God, in the beginning and in the end of the word. GoG. Anybody can say that.
